Thinking of moving to Kuala Lumpur? Malaysia is a beautiful country and Kuala Lumpur is truly a city with everything; culture, nightlife and a low crime rate. At Allied, we help people move from all across the world to Kuala Lumpur. As locals ourselves, we know a thing or two about what makes the city so special. Whether you are moving domestically or relocating internationally to KL, here are 5 reasons you will love it here.

1. Safe and Family-Friendly

Moving to a new city can be nerve wracking. Safety is a key aspect to a good lifestyle, so looking up the crime figures before choosing your new home is important. The crime rates in Kuala Lumpur are lower than many European cities and most KL expat families report feeling safe in their neighbourhood. Kuala Lumpur is also ideal for families as there are plenty of exciting activities and attractions to enjoy, including water parks, museums, and concerts.  

2. Cheap Healthcare

Compared to many Western countries, the healthcare system is clean, efficient and high-quality. If you are considering private healthcare insurance in Kuala Lumpur, you will find that it is more affordable than many other countries in Asia and the rest of the world. 

3. Excellent Food & Entertainment 

Whether you are an expat or a fellow Malaysian, you will love the cuisine throughout the city. You will find traditional and more contemporary dishes, covering a wealth of different flavours. Malaysian restaurants will serve Malay, Chinese and Indian offerings and many offer fusion dishes using ingredients from a few cultures. You may find imported products carry a higher price tag, so if you’re on a budget stick to locally made products which are equally high in quality.

If you are moving to Kuala Lumpur for the city experience, you will find that the nightlife ticks all of your boxes. Late-night rooftop bars with amazing views bring the right ingredients for unforgettable nights out. Small intimate nooks can be found if you and a friend want to sit and talk the night away.

4. Friendly Locals

While most cities are full of people who like to keep to themselves, you will find Kuala Lumpur is full of warm and friendly inhabitants. If you are an expat or a native English speaker, you will also be happy to know that many locals can speak the language and are often happy to help you if you are lost or unable to find an address.

5. Retail Therapy

Swathes of shops, malls and markets can be found across the city. If you’re seeking a bargain, then the open markets are the best place to look. Designer clothing and accessories tend to be found in streets filled with boutique shops catering for niche markets. Take the time to explore different shops that Kuala Lumpur has to offer.
